    Lindsay

    Asked on May 23rd, 2024

    We are currently looking at multiple African tours through Intrepid Travel and need some clarification on the accommodation. They state that they are two-person canvas dome tents with camping mattresses supplied, however do not mention if we need to bring our own bedding eg sheets or sleeping bags. Can you please confirm if we are required to supply/bring these or will Intrepid Travel provide them for us?

    Accommodation
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten May 2024

      Yes, you would need to bring a sleeping bag.

  • K

    Kim

    Asked on December 12th, 2022

    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten December 2022

      Presently, the January 8th, 2023 departure is still available to book. There are 7 people presently on it.

    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten December 2022

      With regard to upgrades from camping, there are roughly 13 camping nights where this is an option, though it is dependent on availability. This can only de determined while in destination. As such, there may be nights were there aren't options available.
